Beste knusse restaurants in Pembury

From the cocktails to the dessert, everything was fantastic. We picked Kumquat based on its online recommendations and celebrated our anniversary here. These are good people that care about their guests and are so enthusiastic about what they do. Highly recommend and we will be returning.

I stumbled across the Dorset Arms while in the area and what caught my eye straight away was the sight of oysters on the menu, not something you expect from a traditional pub tucked away in the middle of Sussex. Naturally, curiosity (and a love of good seafood) led me in. I was genuinely impressed. The Mersey oysters were outstanding, fresh, briny, and as good as any I’ve had. In fact, I usually swear by the oysters at Smiths in Wapping, which are hard to top, but these were right up there. To start, I had the Padron peppers, which were perfectly blistered with just the right touch of salt. For my main, the flat chicken really delivered, juicy, full of flavour, and nicely glazed. If I had to nitpick, the accompanying salad could have used a little more variety, maybe some cherry tomatoes or peppers for a pop of colour and texture. The wine list was a pleasant surprise too. I started with a white that paired beautifully with the oysters, then switched to a rosé that was dangerously easy to drink. The staff were polite, the atmosphere relaxed, and the food far exceeded expectations. If you are anywhere near the area, the Dorset Arms is absolutely worth a visit, especially if you’re an oyster lover. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend. Service is friendly, professional and great to see staff that are enjoying doing what they do. The menu has reverted back to 'The Black Pig' style with a few Asian tweaks which is wonderful. The location just adds to the overall ambience. Thank you for making Saturday lunch fun and delicious.

Great selection of food options and all our party thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Friendly and helpful staff

Beautiful venue with such a nice vibe. Came here for a morning coffee and ended up staying for some lunch and an early afternoon cocktail in the cocktail bar. Service was very nice with nice people. Would definitely come back!
